Straight from the garden, the Rhubarb-Rosemary Daiquiri is a fun, fresh twist on the homemade Daiquiri. It is perfect for those spring and summer days when rhubarb is at its best. The cocktail also includes rosemary, which is a fantastic companion to the sweet-tart taste of rhubarb juice.

To create this drink there are two things you need to do in advance: make the rosemary syrup and rhubarb juice. Both are very easy to do and require very little time in prep, though you will want to leave at least a few hours for things to cool and settle.

Steps to Make It

To Make Fresh Rhubarb Juice

For the rhubarb juice, if you have a higher-end juicer you should be all set. Simply clean the stalks and juice away (some cheaper juicers will have a hard time with rhubarb). For those without a juicer, you will have to do it the old-fashioned way and the technique will give you almost the same results.

Do note that rhubarb juice likes to separate after about 20-30 minutes. It's often best to let it settle then strain off the yellowish 'sludge' to get a clean, blush pink juice. The juice is a great way to use up your leftover rhubarb. It mixes with other fresh juices and is a great addition to lemonade as well.

Want More Rhubarb Cocktails?

Once you get a taste for a rhubarb drink, you will want more. It's a unique taste and a ton of fun to experiment with. While you have that juice around, give one of these drinks a try.

Rhubarb Collins - A garden-fresh twist on the popular Tom Collins, you will use your new rhubarb juice to create a syrup. Add a fantastic gin, a little lime, and some cardamom and rhubarb bitters and a magical new cocktail is formed.

The Rhube - Don't use up all of your rhubarb supply for juice. Save a few stalks to make your own rhubarb soda for this enticing tequila-strawberry cocktail. Of course, if you want to skip the DIY ingredient, you can always turn to DRY Sparkling Rhubarb soda (it's fantastic).
